North Hollywood, CA Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers

For those who would benefit from the most intensive option available, a residential treatment program is the best fit. Residential programs have great attributes for those who are about to finish detox or those who have just finished detox. Since residential programs require people to live on-site, there is constant supervision and support. Because detox and the time right afterward can be hard for people with its drastic ups and downs, having access to help 24/7 makes a big difference. As well, these programs give people the time necessary away from daily distractions to focus on their lives. The various therapy options and meetings with professionals give much-needed structure to routines. The programs typically aim to equip people with self-empowerment and tools to improve their success rates.

When transitioning back to daily life, people are bound to have new issues that they need to address. Partial hospitalization programs are ideal for those who have recently completed an inpatient program. Some partial hospitalization programs require on-site housing, whereas others allow people to live back at home. Either way, these programs continue to give people a high amount of structure and direction. The best candidates are people who have completed detox and people who have demonstrated a willingness to move forward on their journey. The constant supervision and check-ins give both those struggling with drug misuse and their doctors a way to stay on track and to remain accountable.

Outpatient programs play a big role for many people because it is what continues to give them the framework and network of support necessary when transitioning back to daily life. Returning home, for some, may also mean the same bad habits or negative influences that led them to misuse substances in the first place. It’s all the more important for people to maintain a constant schedule with their program. From individual and group therapy to family therapy, these programs tend to be all-encompassing. These programs help people move forward with the necessary tools to maintain their sobriety, and the right support if they hit any new bumps in the road.

One of the amazing aspects of recovery groups like AA is the way the organizations help people learn to love themselves again. You must forgive yourself while you vow to change. Only when you care about yourself do you have the impetus to create a better life. In AA, you make amends for the past. You admit where you’re weak and need help. You seek ways to channel your cravings and emotions into positive activities and responses. AA offers a 12-step program of recovery, and a sponsor helps you fulfill all the steps. Meetings are held in English and Spanish throughout the Los Angeles area. There are open and closed meetings to accommodate people with the need for more privacy.

As much as you try to carry on like everything’s okay, it’s often chaotic and scary living with a person who misuses drugs or alcohol. The uncertainty, broken promises, lonely nights and small betrayals slowly add up until you can feel broken. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon are two wonderful organizations that help hold you up in the tough moments and cheer with you when times are good. Meetings are a safe space to vent and learn how to take your life back when you live with or love someone who has a substance addiction.
